“For thousands of years, all food was organic. We didn’t call it organic, we called it food.”
Robyn O’Brien’s journey from stay-at-home Boulder mom feeding her kids blue yogurt and fluorescent-orange cheese to prominent health activist began with an egg.
One Sunday in 2006 her daughter finished breakfast — scrambled eggs, that blue yogurt, Eggo waffles — and her face began to puff up. The family took off for the hospital.
Read the rest of Douglas J. Brown’s interview with O’Brien on DenverPost.com.

Rare Colorado plague case had Girl Scout near death
By Michael Booth
Let no one say Sierra Jane Downing has not earned her Girl Scout badge for bubonic plague.
If the 107-degree fever didn’t clinch it, temporarily stumping a state-full of doctors would do. If a flight rescue and two weeks in hospital didn’t clear the bar, then being named the only Colorado plague case in six years certainly would.
Sierra Jane, 7, is recovering at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children

Minority babies a majority for first time in U.S. history, census says
After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States.
Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public today, while minorities — including Latinos, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race — reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country’s history.

Can drinking coffee help you live longer?
One of life’s simple pleasures just got a little sweeter. After years of waffling research on coffee and health, even some fear that java might raise the risk of heart disease, a big study finds the opposite: Coffee drinkers are a little more likely to live longer. Regular or decaf doesn’t matter.
The study of 400,000 people is the largest ever done on the issue, and the results should reassure any coffee lovers who think it’s a guilty pleasure that may do harm.
